More importantly, No Fail Guitar offers a simple 4-step system that solves the main problem of learning to play the guitar; how to put these chords and strums together and actually play a song. It then demonstrates this system using 6 "classic rock",blues and folk songs and progressions good for strumming with family, friends, church,etc. The last chapter expands this system to other sources of music; song books, internet, church music and more,enabling you to learn what you want.

Thousands of people ages 5 to 80+ have learned to play the guitar using this simple method, developed over 30 years of teaching and playing professionally in the New Orleans' area.(all examples in this book are available as free digital downloads to purchasers.)
